EASY???

Aye right. I write. Sounds simple to those who don`t do it perhaps.. The many requirements of self publishing can or could be all consuming if all done correctly all of the time which is impossible. I do my best! Simply because to do all of these things correctly even part of the time would not only drive me nuts-and has nearly done on occasion- it would leave you no time to write anything which defeats the whole purpose of what I set out to in the first place. Write crime fiction novels and short story collections. That`s it
Firstly with a great deal of hard work, highs, lows and muttered profanities you have written something legible that you yourself are satisfied with. Vitally important that little bit at the end. You polish it -not literally of course That would be both unnecessary and very silly- and then you put it on to every self publishing outlet that will have it. You spend as much time as possible on social media telling anyone who might read said social media you have done so. You have written something!.Then you repeat the process . You write as much as possible.Then you find print outlets in addition to E-book outlets. Then comes the other 50%-really the 100%- of writing your book(s) The most important thing other than the writing is the reading. All writers have a need to be read. By anybody.
You need to find readers. That too is a constant process. And all you really want is the writing and the reading and the odd kind word or pat on the head like a well behaved spaniel. Writers don`t ask for a lot really. However they do work hard. I know there`s something I`ve not included about writing requirements. Oh aye that`s it
Writers have to blog regularly.
